The Skeptic Part 2
Perpertual this story the breakdown of Sally
The year it was only the start of a winter
The irony offers a semblance of virtue
Oh creatures of man why do they always hurt you
The thickness of skin can be broken by whispers
The scars that they set are the scars that define us
Be vigil my child cause the night is upon us
The prophets will flounder and then they will call you
Please save us oh sally the blindness it hurts us
Forgive them forgive them I ask you to teach them
Believe them believe them campassion becomes you
And then you will find them and guide them to save them
Perhaps you will wonder is this what you paid for
And prayed to the heavens to stop all this torture
These souls that are tainted by all that is basic
And baseless the reasons that you have to love them
In time you will walk on the shadow of evil
Depression will set on the edge of your iris
Concession is made by the weak willed and spineless
They bury their heads and submit to enslavement
Progression of time is fulfiment of remorse
And so far the holy will bring us to reason
Heresay they shout at the top of their voices
Illusions so blinded they fail to account it
In need they might be but their pride is their reaper
And Deeper we'll go down this tunnel of wonder
But Sally your choice is the choices of others
And fight you they might, yet the end is so clear
